Debinaround · 28/03/2015 10:16

My cat is called Tabitha.

There was a little girl at my sons baby group called it and she must be going on 4. We are in the north east.

Debinaround · 28/03/2015 10:16

It's lovely by the way.

I know one aged 1yo have yet to come across any others (Midlands).

mamapants · 28/03/2015 10:20

I know one she's in her 40s

MN216 · 28/03/2015 10:23

Only my cat! I loved the name (child of the late 60s, grew up with Bewitched) and wanted it for a daughter but it was vetoed by DH. I say go for it - I can't imagine my daughter being Tabitha now and I love the name she has, but it is one of those names that would make me smile if i came across someone with it, and there really aren't many around so you should be fine.

2 primary aged children, one adult, one cat.

RueDeWakening · 28/03/2015 10:48

One, in year 2.

BoobooChild · 28/03/2015 10:50

None in real life but whenever I hear the name I immediately think of T. Bag, the children's televison programme, with Tabitha and Tallulah Bag.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 28/03/2015 11:07

None. However I hAd a friend whose mum wanted to call her Tabitha but her dad put his foot down and point blank refused. And she'd be 38 now

pickwickcrocus · 28/03/2015 11:08

None.

RL20 · 28/03/2015 11:14

I don't know any Tabitha's and I'm in the Midlands

IvanOsokin · 28/03/2015 11:16

I know one who is five in London.

DertieBertie · 28/03/2015 11:21

One, who would now be 21, in the South East.

TempsPerdu · 28/03/2015 11:25

Don't know any personally, and haven't yet taught any (I'm in London). According to the ONS it ranked #191 in 2013, and there were 287 Tabithas born that year (monitoring it slightly as we're ttc at the mo and Tabitha would be a real contender gif we were to have a girl - love it!). Really hoping it doesn't suddenly take off like Amelia/Olivia/Sophia.

Sparrowlegs248 · 28/03/2015 11:38

I know of 2, was at school with both of them so they would both be late 30's now. East Anglia

OnIlkleyMoorBahTwat · 28/03/2015 11:45

There were sisters at my school called Samantha and Tabitha. They'll both be around 40 ish. Their DM insisted it was an unfortunate coincidence and nothing to do with Bewitched Grin.
